Last month, I had the privilege of delivering the annual lecture at the Institute for Gerontology Annual Symposium hosted by King’s College London.
In this lecture, I reflect on the challenges facing the adult social care sector and highlight the transformative role of technology in revolutionising care. I discuss how digital transformation is benefitting people who draw on care, the dedicated carers who support them, and the wider health and care sector.
Available to watch or read in full, the lecture outlines the work of the Department in supporting the sector’s shift to digitisation and our ambitions to lay a foundation for greater transformation. I also highlight the crucial role of sector partners in embracing technology to empower individuals to live independently while maintaining genuine choice and control over their care and support.
